Pericallis

Pericallis, sometimes called florists’ cineraria, bears a mass of showy flowers, each 1-2" across, grouped into a tight, flattish, or slightly domed head that nearly hides the foliage. Flower petals can be blue, maroon, pink, purple, red, or white; they surround a dark center which can be any of these colours. Pericallis prefers cool weather and is often preferred to be used in containers.
